Obama - a man with many ideas that turn realities

I just love the great ideas and tangible projects that are coming from the Obama campaign. Campaiging is about getting the candidate to the White House, sure, but Obama's crew is beefing up the objectives a little. They're taking remarkable steps to get the American people involved in the political process, making them more knowledgeable and empowered citizens. A few weeks ago the campaign requested new and previous donors to contribute any amount of money and 4 of those would be selected to have all expenses paid dinner with Barack himself in Chicago. The latest announcement is about Obama Organizing Fellows:

"a program that's going to train a new generation of leaders -- not only to help us win this election, but to help strengthen our democracy in communities across the country.

If you apply and are selected, you'll be trained in the basic organizing principles that this campaign and our movement for change are built on. You will be assigned to a community where you'll organize supporters. Assignments will begin in June, and you'll be required to work a minimum of six weeks over the summer.

This program is designed to give you real world organizing experience that will have a concrete impact on this election."

Keep it up the good work Obama campaign!
